The discussion began when Rowling addressed a fan who had been rejected by a publisher. She wrote, “I pinned my 1st rejection letter to my kitchen wall because it gave me something in common with all my fave writers!” Then she asked if fans wanted to see the ones for Galbraith: “The Potter ones are now in a box in my attic, but I could show you @RGalbraith’s?”

Last year, Rowling explained her pseudonym in an interview with NPR and said that after Harry Potter “there was a phenomenal amount of pressure that went with being the writer of Harry Potter, and that aspect of publishing those books I do not particularly miss. So you can probably understand the appeal of going away and creating something very different, and just letting it stand or fall on its own merits.”
